Hi,
I'm using GPG to decrypt an encrypted file. The command I'm using is the
following:
$ gpg -a --decrypt --no-symkey-cache --batch --passphrase "correct_pw" --output
file.txt file.txt.enc
This works fine when the password is correct. When I try using an incorrect
password, however, gpg leaves me in a prompt waiting for further commands:
$ gpg -a --decrypt --no-symkey-cache --batch --passphrase "incorrect_pw"
--output file.txt file.txt.enc
gpg: AES256.CFB encrypted data
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: Bad session key
^C
gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting
where I have to manually interrupt the process using ctrl + c.
So my question is: is there a way to just quit the program when the password is
incorrect? I need to use this command inside a script which is supposed to be
running in background, this behaviour would break the entire pipeline.
Thanks in advance.
